Leo Austria had nothing but praise for Jorge Gallent, who secured his first PBA title with San Miguel Beer as the head coach.
Having left his coaching position at San Miguel for a sabbatical last year, Austria was succeeded by Gallent.
Gallent ultimately accomplished his mission by guiding the Beermen to the Commissioner’s Cup title, at the expense of Magnolia.
“First of all, I’m so happy with the team, especially with Coach Gallent,” Austria said in a report by ABS-CBN News.
“This is his first title, and the good thing is I’ve been with him all the way from the start of the confidence,” added Austria, who now serves as the team’s active consultant.
It was only during the latter part of 2023 that he returned to the San Miguel bench.
The nine-time PBA champion coach said all praise should be credited to Gallent.
“It doesn’t matter kung ako ‘yung before and siya ‘yung bago; it’s still with San Miguel, eh. Andun ‘yung vision namin how to win a championship, and that’s what happened,” he said.
“They know how to win; that’s why I’m so happy. It’s a collaboration.”
